Could Red October stand for Rogue Operator? Q's team is hunting down the bad actors, including rogue operators within CIA right? He did say, the hunter becomes the hunted - at some point, I forget when. In the movie/book, one sub was chasing another right? Parallels to Q team's NSA agents turning the table, gaining the upper hand on the CIA which formerly "hunted" them, so to speak, but now is at their mercy. Make sense…?

Don't think so, I remember at the time he said it wasn't that.
